The AirTAC B52-GFC Copper-Free Air Source Treatment Component B52-GFC40010AC1WK is a genuine G-series two-unit air-preparation set: a filter regulator that filters and regulates in one body, coupled to a lubricator. Two bodies do the work of three, with PT3/8" ports, a 5 µm element, a automatic drain and regulation over 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi).
The AirTAC GFC two-unit set pairs a filter regulator with a lubricator, so filtration, pressure regulation and oil-mist lubrication are covered by one matched package on a compressed-air line. This GFC40010AC1WK is the size 400 frame with a 3/8 in PT port. The filter section runs a 5 um element (the W grade) with an automatic drain, the regulator section adjusts between 0.15 and 0.9 MPa (20-130 psi), and an external round gauge on a MPa scale is fitted. The K suffix adds a reverse (check) valve, which holds downstream pressure if the upstream supply dips. Maximum working pressure is 1.0 MPa (145 psi), and the unit operates from -5 to 70 C.
This is a genuine AirTAC part. The G-series spans sizes 200 to 600 with ports from 1/8 to 1 in, and the catalogue lets you choose drain type, 40 um or 5 um filtration, gauge style and scale, and thread (PT as standard, with G and NPT available to order). At this size the filter-section bowl is polycarbonate. Flow is published as curves rather than a single rating, so ask us to confirm datasheet and sizing figures for your application before ordering.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC G-series air-preparation data. The regulating band is set by the drain type: automatic and differential-pressure drains regulate 0.15 - 0.9 MPa, a manual drain regulates 0.05 - 0.9 MPa. Standard type, regulating 0.15 - 0.9 MPa (20 - 130 psi). The set has no separate bracket code — the two units couple together with their own mounting hardware. Flow curves, weight and outline dimensions are not published in our data set — ask us and we will confirm from the factory datasheet.

Field order is size, port, drain, type, gauge, shape, scale, grade, thread, reflux — there is no bracket position on a combination set. Constituent units, orderable separately as spares: GFR400-10 filter regulator and GL400-10 lubricator.
A GFC is two units because filtering and regulating share one body. A GC is three separate units — filter, regulator and lubricator. Both filter, regulate and lubricate; the GFC is the shorter assembly, the GC keeps the filter and regulator serviceable as separate bodies.

Feeds filtered, regulated and lubricated air to weld-tip clamps and valve manifolds on a spot-welding robot; the 5 um element protects the solenoid valves and the check valve holds the circuit if supply pressure dips.
Supplies conditioned, lubricated air to the gripper cylinders and case diverters on a palletiser, with the automatic drain clearing bowl condensate without shutting the line down.
Conditions the air feeding core-pull cylinders and ejector valves on injection moulding machines, where steady regulation and an oil mist help extend seal and valve life.
Work through the code from left to right: size 400 with a 3/8 in PT port sits mid-range in the G-series, so step up to 600 or down to 300 or 200 if your line's air demand points that way. Flow is published as curves, not a single number, so let us check the curve against your demand before you order. The automatic drain suits unattended or hard-to-reach installations; manual and differential-pressure drains are catalogue alternatives. Choose the 5 um element when feeding solenoid valves or precision actuators, and stay with 40 um for general protection. The round MPa gauge is external; square gauges and psi or bar scales are other options, and G or NPT threads can be ordered in place of the standard PT.
Quick checklist
The PC bowls must not be cleaned with solvents — wipe them with a dry cloth. The lubricator adds an oil mist downstream, so if any branch must stay oil-free, take that branch off before the lubricator or use a GFR400-10 filter regulator on its own.
AirTAC publishes G-series flow as performance curves, not as a single rated figure, so we do not quote one number. Tell us your working pressure and expected air demand and we will confirm the sizing from the datasheet on request.
It selects the 5 um filter element instead of the standard 40 um grade. Choose 5 um when downstream solenoid valves or precision actuators need finer protection; 40 um remains the standard choice for general-purpose lines.
